    I'd put Smart Launcher above all other launchers for the automatic category sorting alone. The fact that you don't have to do it manually and you can have it done for you, leaving you to just fine tune things is great. Grid spacing can't be as tight as Nova, for better or for worse, but the app drawer sorting is great.

    The problem with custom launchers is that if you're using gesture navigation, the animations are not fluid (especially while going in and out of apps or going home) while they are super smooth and dynamic on the stock launcher.

    Mmm
    It would've been worth mentioning that Modes and Routines, with Modes and Routines Plus, on Samsung phones literally lets you automate EVERY SINGLE thing you could ever do on a phone.
    You can run touch macros with the MaR+ module from Goodlock, which records whatever actions you do, and allows you to automate that to whatever conditions you set.
    My one gripe with MaR is that there needs to be more variables for controlling on and off conditions... but it's still really, really good... there is no need for ANY of the other apps he mentioned if you have MaR

      @sambeckman I highly recommend checking it out... it's surprisingly comprehensive, especially when combined the MaR plus from GoodLock.
      But I do notice that your channel does seem to focus on independent, third party apps a lot, and you make them too, so I do understand if it's not really worth your time looking into MaR.

      ​@thepronoob50 however, good lock is not available in every country. Therefore, if you're in a country where it isn't accessible, you still have to resort to third party apps. Quite frankly, those do not work as seamlessly as the real one.

    missing level: Lock Screen Customization.
    I remember old android versions used to be a lot more lenient in lock screen customization, like there are apps that can even change how you unlock your phone (from swiping, touch and hold, some elaborate gestures, etc.), change the image for unlocking (like pulling down a monster's tongue to unlock), and even automatic changing PIN based on time (like add 1111 for every hour & minute, for example if it's 08.35 then the PIN would be 1946)
    I get that those leniency were removed due to security concerns, but nowadays I think iOS is a bit ahead on this customization department. Maybe Xiaomi's HyperOS can provide some competition but I want them on base android.
